15 years, 1 month and 2 weeks ...
... after our first date, sepp and i decided to separate, last sunday. things had not been "right" for too long. while it has not completely sunk in yet, i already know that the hardest part will be dealing with the loss of the closest friend i have had for the best part of 15 years. We Grow Accustomed to the Dark
We grow accustomed to the Dark --
When light is put away --
As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp
To witness her Goodbye --
A Moment -- We uncertain step
For newness of the night --
Then -- fit our Vision to the Dark --
And meet the Road -- erect --
And so of larger -- Darkness --
Those Evenings of the Brain --
When not a Moon disclose a sign --
Or Star -- come out -- within --
The Bravest -- grope a little --
And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead --
But as they learn to see --
Either the Darkness alters --
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight --
And Life steps almost straight.

Michi,
I'm horrible at making people feel better - just know that I'm so so sorry to hear about this. I can't imagaine how something so special can fall apart - I wish you lots of inner-peace. I don't think time ever heals wounds, but it does make them hurt a little less.
Lots of hugs,
Rach
Michi, I'm so sorry to hear this. You are in my thoughts. Lots of hugs and love.
I'm not good at making people feel better either but I always think that this, too, shall pass.

thanks for the good vibes everyone. i'm doing okay. some days are better than others. it was a mutual decision and there weren't any ugly scenes or anything, and we can still talk and be civil to each other.
hugs,
